Industrial Security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operat
ion of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement
– and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art Industrial
Security concept. Siemens pr
oducts and solutions only represent one component of such a
concept.
The customer is solely responsible for preventing unauthorized access to its plants, systems,
machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to
the compa
ny's network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate
security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. Fo

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make
them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s ex
posure to cyber threats.

Unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation

damage.
• Keep the software up to date.
• Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art
industrial security concept for the installation or machine.
• Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security
concept.
• Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by applying
